Eliminate Mental Health Care Stigma

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in mental health care but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Elizabeth White, a Licensed Professional Counselor & Founder of EverWell Counseling, located in Houston, TX, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

EverWell Counseling is a mental health counseling practice that specializes in working with teens, adults, parents, and couples.

Tell us about yourself

I want to help break the stigma around receiving mental health care. I have realized on my journey to becoming a licensed professional counselor that everyone could benefit from therapy. EverWell Counseling was created to be the beginning of positive community change, increasing compassion by learning and healing through therapy. The idea of a kinder, more inclusive, empathic world sounds pretty great.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

The first step was my biggest accomplishment. I struggle with wanting everything to be perfect, and I often let those thoughts hold me back, so the jump to start my own practice was difficult. I realized I have the ability to create some of the change I want to see in the world, which is what drove me to start the business.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

A major challenge that comes with being a business owner is learning balance and setting boundaries. It is important for me to spend quality time with my family, but it is so easy to become consumed with the business 'to-do' list.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

Surround yourself with good support people, and this is so important. This means family or friends as well as other professionals! Network with people in your field, and you will find those that want to support you!
Use LinkedIn to connect with professionals in your field, as well as attorneys and CPAs, for business advice.
Go to therapy!! Therapy will help with boundary setting, increasing self-esteem/confidence, practicing self-care, and so many other things. These are all challenges that you will face when starting, running, and growing a business.
